6. WHITE NONPAREIL. 
There is no notice of the origin of this variety. 
Description. —Fruit: much resembling the Old Nonpareil in size and shape; oblate and 
obscurely ribbed, especially about the eye. Skin : greenish or yellowish green on the shaded side, 
and covered with a brownish red tinge on the side next the sun ; the whole surface sprinkled with 
russet dots and a thin coat of grey russet, especially round the eye. Eye : closed, with broad, flat 
segments slightly recurved at the tips, set in a considerable basin, which is plaited and slightly 
angular. Stalk : half an inch to three-quarters long, slender, straight, and inserted in a deep, wide 
cavity. Flesh : greenish, tender, crisp, very juicy, sweet, and with a rich flavour, but not so rich 
as that of the Old Nonpareil. 
A good dessert apple, in season from December to February. The tree has the ordinary 
growth and character of the Nonpareil race, and this variety is often greatly in favour with those 
who grow it. 
7. BRADDICK’S NONPAREIL. 
[Syn : Ditton Nonpareil?\ 
This variety was raised by John Braddick, Esq., of Thames Ditton. It is figured by 
Ronalds, PI. xxxiv. 
Description.— Fruit: medium sized; roundish and flattened, inclining to oblate. Skin: 
smooth, greenish yellow in the shade, and brownish red next the sun, russetty round the eye, and 
partially covered on the other portions of the surface with patches of brown russet. Eye : set in a 
deep, round and even basin. Stalk : half an inch long, inserted in a round and rather shallow 
cavity. Flesh : yellowish, rich, sugary, and aromatic. 
One of the best winter dessert apples, and by many considered more sweet and tender than 
the Old Nonpareil. It is in season from November to April. 
The tree is small and grows slenderly, but it is very hardy and an excellent bearer. It 
succeeds well on the paradise stock, and should be grown in every garden.
